SUMMARY:Symbolic Funeral
DESCRIPTION:May is Sexual Violence Prevention Month in Canada\, and this year the CKSACC is proud to be a part of a series of events. \nThe CKSACC is holding a symbolic funeral procession and memorial for the women and children lost to femicide.

This event is being held in honour of the women and children who we’ve lost\, and of those still fighting. \nWe need volunteers! If you or someone you know can participate as a driver in our procession\, please register here: Registration Form Set-up will begin at 325 Grand Ave. E.\, Chatham at 10am\, with the procession to begin at 11am.
